    Hey Seth McFarlane, the creators of 'Wilfred' want their idea back! :pac:

    Will be released in the US in July..

    Directed and written by Family Guy / American Dad creator Seth McFarlane and stars Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and Joel McHale.

    I did like the standard chick flick beginning of the trailer being turned on it's head.. but yeah, can't help but think of 'Wilfred' throughout it.

    Hopefully all the funny bits aren't just in the trailer, I laughed my ass off at that.

    Ted is basically his Peter Griffin voice.

    Nah Brian is a much more lower tone, i think Brian is just Set Macfarlane's normal voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc-yl_8ywiU

    It's more a harder version of the standard Peter voice; although Peter has a number of different voices.

    The movie looks funny enough from the clip and it has a lot of Mila Kunis which is a good thing :)

    Looks good and infinitely better than Wilfred. Didn't rate that show at all.
    I just hope we havent seen all the best bits.

    It does seem to vary in the trailer IMO..

    When Ted first runs into the room = Peter.
    On the couch smoking = Brian

    Because it was almost entirely unamusing.

    Wahlberg trying to guess the name was really good though.

    I like the look of it but then i like Family Guy\American Dad. Guessing the name clip did make me laugh.

    Not a fan of McFarlane's work to date, it's all been far to similiar for my liking but I do like Wahlberg and the idea so I'll most likely give this a go. Kind of film I can go to with no expectations at all.

    McFarlane sure does like to get mileage with his pot jokes.

    Hurr, hurr, a teddy bear smoking pot, hurr, hurr.

    Not a fan of McFarlane at all but I'll probably give this a shot.

    I hate Seth McFarlane and what he's done to comedy.

    So colour me uninterested.

    I was actually looking forward to this film until Mark the plank Wahlberg was cast in it.
    How this man gets work is truly baffling especially comedy work ,he is dreadful .
    Trailer was very underwhelming .

    Swearing is FUNNY! :rolleyes: Remember when comedy writers actually had to use some wit?

    Looks a pretty weak film to be honest, with precisely one gag / premise. To be expected with Seth McFarlane these days though ... first contender for next year's Razzies perchance?

    I still tune in to McFarlane's work if it's on the TV, but I lost admiration for his shows years ago - possibly because around then he ran out of unique or funny ideas. And maybe it's just me, but it feels like what was once funny in a risqué sort of fashion, the Family Guy jokes now seem to be actually racist.

    If taken out of context maybe, but you could say the same about the majority of South Park (far superior show to Family Guy imo) and even the Simpsons in some cases.

    Does this sort of remind anyone of "Paul"?

    Ah no, it's within context that I'm speaking of: as fond of nonsequiturs as McFarlane is, these days he seems too keen to throw in a lot of jibes at jews / african-americans that feel a bit past the point of ironic-mocking. Dunno, maybe I've just grown out of his style of humour. Trailer still sucks though :D

    I thought he did well in The Other Guys much better than comedy veteran Will Ferrell

    This looks so bad! Where's the funny side of this? Seth could at least do a voice that's a bit further away from Peter Griffin. He sounds way too much like Peter. God I hate Family Guy these days! Yet still like American Dad... hmmm. A bit like Futurama and The Simpsons me thinks.
    I can't see this being much funnier than Garfield but I would obviously like to be wrong.

    I didnt like him in it,he was his usual mono expression self.
    The film would have been alot better with a better actor.
    The ironic thing is that he showed promise earlier in his career in "The Basketball Diaries" but he has been on a downward slide ever since.
    You'd get better acting skills out of a door.

    I think he is, it looks like they're going for that Family Guy style situation where Brian is a dog, does dog things yet still walks around talking and acting like a human.

    Why didn't he just go ahead and call Marky Marks character Stewie and the bear Rupert?
